We booked for a birthday event a few weeks ago, and we all had a great time. From start to finish our trainers John and Mick were amazing. John was especially helpful with us all. He explained how to hold the gun and shoot the clay pigeons. Great day had by all. Will definitely go again

Fantastic day out doing Archery. Booking was super easy with fantastic communication from them all the way through. They cater for large groups, have onsite food and drinks and you get hosts who are with you throughout the entire archery sessions, which was brilliant. Highly recommend.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The venue is well-organised and conveniently offers on-site parking. All members of staff were exceptionally welcoming, friendly, and professional throughout our visit, which really enhanced the overall atmosphere. Our instructor—Mick (apologies if I have misremembered the name)—was brilliant. He demonstrated great patience and provided clear, supportive guidance as we progressed through the session. He took the time to explain different techniques and encouraged us to try various methods to improve our aim and understanding of how the clay targets moved. One of the real highlights was the awards podium at the end of the session. It added a fun, competitive element to the day, and the winner receiving a plaque was a lovely touch that made the experience even more memorable. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone looking for a well-run, enjoyable, and engaging day out. We’ll definitely be returning!
